Nucleated Rbc

Thrombocytopenia

Fragments/Schistocytes

Tear drop cells

Myelocytes

 

 

This was a case of bone marrow infiltration by a non-haemopoetic carcinoma… I spotted the salient features.

Blasts

Prolymphocytes & cleft nuclei

smear cells

target cells

 

 

This was a case of Diffuse large B cell lymphoma. I went with “Lymphoproliverative disorder” and (to be honest) with the information given, that wasn’t a bad suggestion.
